The Slave Trade flourishes with as much horrible activity as at any former period. England is clear of the pollution, it is certain; but somebody must have nerves to declare the melancholy and mortifying truth from which all Englishmen of all parties are too ready, if not to withhold their belief, at least to turn aside their attention—that the amount of African misery has not been reduced single particle: it has, on the contrary, if anything, been aggravated by the abolition of the British Slave Trade.

If the flag of England be no longer employed to cover this abomination, there is scarcely another flag in Europe, or, with the exception of the United States, out of Europe, by which it is not masked from the researches of our men-ofwar, or shielded from their forcible interference.

Portuguese I have been so fortunate as to seize in a Brazilian
brigantine, with 143 slaves on board at the time of seizure.
"Of all vessels I was ever on board of, this was in the
most deplorable condition: the stench from the accumulation
of dirt, joined to that of so many human beings packed to-
gether in a small space (the men all ironed in pairs), was in-
tolerable; and to add to this scene of misery, the small-pox
had broken out among them; nine had died before we took
possession, and one almost immediately after our first boat
got alongside."

Well may they calculate, that one cargo in four escaping constitutes a profitable trade, when the prime cost of what, according to the odious jargon of the villains who engage in it, is termed " ebony," averages little more than a dollar each "log" (human body), and brings at the Havannah between two and three hundred. Well, also, may the slave-dealer speculate on the loss of one-half of the tortured creatures by death before they reach the market, when we have on such authority as that of Captain Woollcombe, a description of their conveyance thither.

It appears by the secret correspondence of the slave-dealers, that the commandants of certain places on the territories of the very Powers which have concluded treaties with England for putting down the Slave Trade, are "devoted" to that abominable cause which their Governments have formally for

France, Spain, Portugal, Holland, and Brazil, all have It appears, from a letter of Captain Owen, to the Admibeen, and are apparently to this hour, disgraced by the sub-ralty, that in two ports only, under the dominion of Portugal, serviency of their national colours to the avarice of dealers in Mozambique and Quillinan, 25,000 slaves are shipped anNegro blood, and by the atrocious diligence of their subjects nually for Brazil alone! This is independently of Cuba. in the work of desolation throughout Africa. The evidence before us is not to be questioned, that wars are perpetually instigated for the supply of slaves, who are furnished in such abundance, that the price to the slave-merchant varies only from half a dollar to between two and three dollars a-piece. What, then, becomes of the beings thus wrested almost out of the keeping of their Maker? They are crammed-we might say potted-into the hold of a vessel, where space assigned to them, and for a voyage, be it remembered, across the Atlantic, in the following proportions:

is

The ship Minerva, of 270 tons, had a passport from the Emperor of Brazil for 675 slaves, a little more than one-third of a ton for each!

The brig Cerqueira, of 304 tons, was licensed for 761 slaves! The schooner Arola, 108 tons, 270 slaves! Such is the art of potting Negroes for use. Upon this subject we quote the following letter from a vigilant and able officer :---"Extract of a letter from Commodore Bullen, C.B., to J. W. Croker, Esq., dated on board His Majesty's ship Maidstone, Man-of-war Bay, Island of St. Thomas, 23rd of September, 1824. (With one enclosure.)

"I beg leave to enclose an extract of a letter from Captain Woollcombe, stating his having been so fortunate as to capture the Diana, with 143 slaves on board; since which (on the 18th instant) he succeeded in detaining Osdons Amigos Brazilinos (one of the vessels boarded by me off Badagry, and reported to their Lordships in my letter of the 22d of July) with 260 slaves, making it all 740 that this active and valuable officer has been instrumental in liberating from the worst and most distressing species of slavery. In this letter he had detailed the extent of human misery experienced by these unfortunate beings during their passage across the Atlantic; and on my visiting his last prize, on the 21st, the filthy and horrid state I found her in beggars all description: many females were far advanced in pregnancy, and several had infants of from four to twelve months old; all were crowded together in one mass of living corruption, and yet this vessel had not her prescribed complement by nearly 100."

What is the remedy for all this horror? Time only; and the hand of Providence interposing especially to assuage it. There is proof in every line of the correspondence, and of volumes of official writing antecedently made public, that our brave and good officers are doing all they can, and that there is no want of zeal or cordiality in the British Government to stimulate and encourage them; but we grieve deeply at the conduct of the United States, or rather of their Senate, wrought upon by the slave spirit of Virginia, in refusing to confirm the fair and honest treaty recommended by Mr. Monroe for their ratification with Great Britain. We trust they will think better of it, as a precedent for other nations, and for the honour of their own: but in the mean time we ascribe no blame on this point to the counsels of England, or to those who are entrusted with their execution. It is, indeed, a pity that the result is not more complete.-Times.

IRELAND.

STATE OF FEELING IN DUBLIN. DUBLIN, MAY 22.-The Liverpool packet brought an account of the loss of the Emancipation Bill to Dublin on Friday. The debate in the Lords was published at an early hour on the same day. It is not easy to describe the sensation it produced. The Catholics, even men of moderation hitherto, openly and publicly expressed disappointment and rage. Commercial and moneyed men, who think their personal interests are involved in the success of the question, appeared quite dejected, whilst timid, or perhaps thoughtful people, antici pating future evils and disorder, expressed their determination to leave the country as soon as possible. The hall of the Four Courts in Dublin is, in Dublin, the general place of appointment. To this place men are in the habit of repairing when any extraordinary event agitates the public mind. On Friday it was thronged with all descriptions of men, politicians, merchants, alarmists of every sect; the news of the debate excluded every other topic-by the Catholics it was treated as I have already described-by the Protestants it was received with no appearance of triumph-to all parties, the manner in which the question was handled, and the large and overpowering, the crushing majority of 43, gave great

surprise. It was represented here, through various channels,
that Lord Liverpool had, in some degree, changed his mind
on this important subject. It was fully expected by the Ca-
tholics, that if his Lordship would not actually vote for them,
his opposition to their claims would have been weak and qua-
lified.
The Speech of the Earl of Liverpool has created a feeling
here, stronger than anything that has happened within my
recollection. No party was prepared for it. The Catholics,
who expected that the Noble Earl would have thrown oil
upon their wounds, find him opposing them, as it were, with
a sharp sword. They load him with abuse and execration.
The Catholics had yesterday a mecting, to consider which
should be the first step to be taken by them. It is a curious
fact, and shows the agreement in point of opinion that pre-
vails in this body, that the Meeting on Saturday had scarcely
agreed to call an Aggregate Meeting with all possible speed
when a communication arrived from the Delegates in London,
inclosing resolutions precisely to the same effect. There is,
in fact, no second opinion as to the course to be pursued, and
that will be a strong, a decided, and, I may say, a violent
course; in fact, the Catholics will not submit to the present
state of things; whether they ought to submit, is a question
on which I shall give no opinion; but, judging from appear-
ances, I am strongly inclined to say, that it is quite idle to
leave a liberal and conciliating government in Ireland; she
must be treated as a free country, or she must be governed by
terror and by the sword. Everything here is convulsed, and
embarrassed, and insecure. Speculation is at an end; the
operations of various companies that have been formed here
are at a stand; and, to make matters still worse, a commer-
cial house of considerable importance, the house of Chamber-
lain and Company, has failed, and threatens to bring after it
many inferior establishments. In short, Dublin exhibits a
picture of gloom and anxiety, which it is afflicting to contem-
plate, particularly to one accustomed to the enterprise and
splendour of your flourishing metropolis. The high Protestant
party have not shown much appearance of triumph. Some
of their newspapers have put forth placards, announcing the
glorious and immortal majority of 48; the people read those
foolish and violent irritating papers, but did not take further
notice of them.-I am yours, &c.

POSTSCRIPT.

MONDAY, MAY 30.

Cadiz are going to remove and settle elsewhere, conceiving that the loss of Peru must be followed by that of the Havannah, Porto Rico, Manilla, and even the Canaries, where a considerable fermentation has for some time prevailed. Orders have just come from Madrid to give no passports to officers on indefinite furloughs, especially those who should ask them for Estremadura, where there are some bands of Constitutionalists, which appear to meet with much protection. A rich convoy is expected from the Havannah, and as there are four Colombian privateers in sight of the port, the Diana and Discovery corvettes, and the Jason and Diligent brigs, have put to sea to protect the convoy on its arrival. Forty coasting vessels for Corunna, Santander, and Bilbao, sailed at the same time, which are to be escorted a good part of their voyage, by one of the brigs.

These proceedings are intended to discover what passed at Ayacucho, and the causes of the defeat of the Royal army; which every one relates in his own way. It seems that the General Officers returning from America will go to France or England, fearing that they would be brought to trial in Spain. Several superior Officers have, for the same reason, gone to Manilla, on board the St. Francis d'Assise of the line and the Achilles brig. Colonel D. Mateo Ravirez and D. Andre Garcia Camba, are among them. All the letters from Madrid say that the defeat in Peru will produce great changes in the proceedings of the Government.

The healths of the other officers were then drunk, and the meeting adjourned.

UNITARIAN FUND SOCIETY.

On Wednesday week, the Unitarian Fund Society held their Nineteenth Anniversary at the Unitarian Chapel, Fiusbury, after which they dined together at the Londou Tavern, where their distinguished Parliamentary Advocate, Mr. William Smith, was in the Chair.-The Annual Report of the Committee of the Society was read by their Secretary, the Rev. W. J. Fox. It stated the very great progress Unitarianism was making; and contained a correspondence from Missionaries in India, by which it appears that there is every prospect of Unitarianism meeting with a favourable reception in that country, where it has already made converts of many of the natives, and gained a powerful advocate in an Indian of great learning, named Ramahun Roy. A considerable sum has been raised in Englaud for the erection of a chapel at Calcutta. The subscription for general purposes also continues to increase. The Committee recommended an union of the Fund Society with the Society for the Protection of the Civil Rights of Unitarians, and the Unitarian Book Society, the Union to be called The British and Foreign Unitarian Association. The Association to have power to embrace every subject connected with the

diffusion of Unitarianism.

The company assembled at the London Tavern to dinner completely filled the great room. The first toast after dinner was "The King." The next toast, the Chairman observed, was one that must deeply interest every man who had a head to think or a heart to feel: "The cause of civil and religious liberty all over the world." This toast was drunk with immense applause.

The Rev. C. BERRY, of Leicester, mentioned as an instance of the necessity of endeavouring to disseminate Christian truth and benevolence, that the bells of the town in which he resides were set ringing when the mail brought the account of the rejection by the House of Lords of the Catholic Relief Bill. It was the act, however, of the least informed and respectable part of the people.
